The end is nigh. Transfer deadline day is on Monday October 5. However, to give clubs more time in the age of coronavirus, they will be able to do domestic transfers up until October 16. This will be for loans or permanent transfers between Premier League and EFL clubs. No transfers can take place between Premier League clubs or with foreign clubs in this additional period.
That does not give clubs long to get deals done, with many clubs, Manchester United being one, still looking to do plenty of business before the window "slams shut".
We take a look at all the latest transfer talk from around the world, and keep you up to date with all the deals, as they happen.
20:00 - Hudson-Odoi bombshell and goodnight
Goal.com is reporting that Bayern Munich have come in with a late loan-plus-buy offer for Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Whether Chelsea would entertain such a deal is unclear, but Frank Lampard has let it be known he will consider loan offers for some of his younger players.
That's it for tonight, though. Any major stories will be covered elsewhere on the site.
19:30 - Caleta-Car offer
According to reports in France, West Ham have made an offer for Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car. The offer of 20 million pounds has been rejected and the player is not desperate to go.

15:18 - Arteta still hopeful of Arsenal signings in coming days
Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Arsenal can bring in more fresh faces before the transfer deadline next week, believing the club to be in a "crucial moment".
Arsenal have been in talks to sign highly-rated midfielder Houssem Aouar from Lyon for weeks now, while Thomas Partey is another long-term target who has not made the move to north London. Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira is one of several players set for a potential exit.
Arteta refused to comment on individual transfers but said he was confident in the club's plans and that he had "full support from the owners" amid the COVID-19 pandemic which has also affected transfer business.
We will try to make the best possible decisions and at the end, whatever we have, we go for it fully convinced and prepared to have a good season.
15:00 - Dortmund: Sancho won't join Utd before transfer window closes
Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has ruled out Jadon Sancho leaving for Manchester United this transfer window.
United have coveted the Dortmund forward for much of the summer, and hoped to get a deal done before the transfer deadline on Monday, but Zorc, who has been firm with United in the past, has said on Friday, with finality, that a deal will not happen.
"We talked to Manchester in the past," Zorc said.
But anything that could have been said by us concerning this topic, has already been said. And that won't change in the upcoming three days.
14:39 - Solskjaer wants to offload James to fund Sancho deal
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared to sell winger Daniel James to fund a late move for Jadon Sancho, sources have told ESPN, but is yet to convince the club's hierarchy to sanction a potential £25 million sale of the Wales international.
Solskjaer remains determined to test Borussia Dortmund's resolve over Sancho, despite the German club's insistence that he will not leave this year, but United have yet to come anywhere close to Dortmund's £108m valuation of the England winger.
It was reported earlier this summer that Solskjaer was frustrated by the club's lack of progress over Sancho and plans to make an opening offer of £50m, but the Norwegian continues to hope that United will make a breakthrough before Monday's transfer deadline.

13:40 - Hammers in for Loftus-Cheek
West Ham are growing more confident of signing Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to reports.
Loftus-Cheek was once described as an “unstoppable force” by Owen Hargreaves, but he has struggled to get regular game time of late.
His loan spell at Crystal Palace in 2017/18 was his gateway to earn a place in the Chelsea team.
13:20 - New deal for Brentford 'keeper

12:00 - Brewster talks ongoing
Further updates from Chris Wilder as he confirms Rhian Brewster is close to £23.5m Sheffield United move from Liverpool.
The deal includes a buy-back option for three years, while Liverpool will get 15% of any sell-on fee.
Brewster, who helped England win the Under-17 World Cup in 2017 and scored 11 goals in 22 appearances while on loan at Swansea City last season, is undergoing a medical in Sheffield ahead of the move, with Wilder confirming talks are progressing.
There's nothing to announce at the minute. We are down the line, he's been on our radar and when that happens I can confirm it. As we are at this moment in time nothing is over the line.

"He is a player we have been tracking for some time now. He has a lot of attributes and qualities that we believe will enable him to adapt quickly to the demands of the Premier League," West Ham manager David Moyes said in a statement.

While admitting there is still chance of doing some business before the end of the window, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was hardly enthusiastic about Manchester United's hopes of bringing in fresh faces before Tuesday's deadline.
"We’ve got players here that we believe in,” Solskjaer said. “The transfer window is still open for a little while and club has been working.
“They know my view and that we’re here to strengthen, in the long-term as well. I’m not going to say what’s acceptable for other clubs in this difficult period.”
09:53 - Saliba to leave on loan, again?
09:40 - Pereira makes loan move to Lazio
Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira will join Serie A club Lazio on a season-long loan, the Premier League club said on Thursday.
Pereira joins the Italian side in search of regular first-team football after he fell down the pecking order at United following the arrivals of Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes in January and Dutchman Donny van de Beek.
The Rome club said the 24-year-old, who scored four goals in 75 games for United, will undergo a medical on Friday before being unveiled as a Lazio player.
09:30 - Spurs bolster strikeforce
Tottenham have reached an agreement with Benfica to sign Brazilian striker Carlos Vinicius on loan.
The agreement - confirmed by the Portuguese club on Thursday - includes a £2.7m loan fee with an option to buy for a further £38.2m
09:15 - How much for Brewster?!?
Rhian Brewster is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Sheffield United, according to various reports.
He’ll cost £23.5m but crucially Liverpool have a 15% sell on clause, as part of the deal, and a buy back option guaranteed for three years.
Brewster is in Sheffield now for a medical.
09:00 - Good morning!
Hope you are all well, transfer fans! Let's kick off with Paper Round...
The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham Hotspur will sign Benfica striker Carlos Vinicius on loan on Friday. The club have apparently secured a work permit for the 25-year-old Brazilian despite the fact he has no international caps. The player will join on loan for the season, with an option to buy at the end of the term for £36 million. Benfica confirmed an agreement in the early hours of Friday morning, with Vinicius set to undergo a medical later that afternoon.
Paper Round’s view: With a dispute brewing already between Gareth Southgate and Jose Mourinho over resting Kane, there is clearly a need for someone to take some steps to rest the forward. Vinicius looks to have the physique to handle himself in the Premier League, but he will have to prove that he has the eye for goal to be worth keeping on.
